using # in rails routes..!

I am trying to have a routing rule which does the below

http://localhost:3003/tab/show#user11

when this url is loaded, the system should fetch the value after # and use it to generate user output.

I tried to add this rule in the routes.rb file 

 match "tab/show#:value => "tab#show"

but i could not able to use this and fetch the value after # like 

@current = request["value"]

Please suggest.

If you change your root to

match "tab/show/:value => "tab#show"

and use the URL 

http://localhost:3003/tab/show/user11

then it will be available in the params hash:

@current = params[:value]

Unless you have a good reason for your current structure then this is the best way to do it.

This part of url isn't being sent to the server during request. So, naturally, you can't get access to it on the server-side. Use javascript to access it.

And it's not Rails' "feature". It's common thing.
